43 chapitres En cours d'écriture Hayley Smith has never truly belonged. Her life has been a blur of suitcases, secrets, and silent goodbyes. Now, once again, she's vanished-another town, another name, another shot at outrunning the ghosts still chasing her.
Few know what really happened in her past. And the ones who do? They have a habit of turning up dead.
Her childhood was chaos-foster homes, group shelters, juvy cells. Then her brother died, and her world shattered. Just when she thought she'd drown in it all... he came back. The boy she never thought she'd see again. The one who knew the girl behind the scars.
A new town. A new start. But secrets this dark don't stay buried-and danger never stays far behind.
In a place full of fresh starts and forbidden feelings, Hayley must decide: keep running... or finally stand and fight.
SAMPLE:
"911, what's your emergency?" The calm voice cut through the chaos on the other end.
"Please! Help! Send someone-now!"
"Ma'am, stay calm. What's happening? Where are you?"
"He's trying to kill us!!"
The operator raced to trace the call. All she heard were panicked footsteps across wooden floors... then a distant scream.
Then-silence. The line went dead.
No rescue. No location. And the girl on the other end, along with whoever she tried to save... was left to die.
TEN YEARS LATER
"One more time. What's your name?"
"Hayley Smith," I sigh, flipping my newly dyed brown hair over my shoulder. "I told you-I've got this."
"Alright. Just be careful. And... try to enjoy school." My brother flashes a tired smile under his platinum hair.
I smirk. "Yeah, sure. Let's see how long we last this time. We barely made it two months before one of his freaks came sniffing."
